The closest to the claimed utility model is a thermos glass - an external holder of two capsules, equipped with grips, clamps and a ring shelf (RU 224877 U1, patent holder Vitaly Pavlovich Pankratov (RU), publication date 04/08/2024). Thermos glass - an external holder of two capsules, equipped with grips, clamps and a ring shelf, a system for the safe preparation of two-component drinks, consisting of a side wall containing a flange and a ring shelf, inseparably connected to the inner part of the side wall and configured to hold the piercer; a piercer containing two piercing elements, configured to be installed on the annular shelf and pierce the lower parts of two capsules located in the capsule nest; a bottom inseparably connected to the side wall; an annular part containing holes for drinking and configured to connect with the flange; a capsule nest configured to connect to the annular portion and configured to accommodate two capsules; containing markings capable of being read by a scanner of an automobile coffee machine, characterized in that it contains a removable annular part containing grippers configured to fix the annular part on the flange; an outer flask connected to a flange; a capsule nest containing four latches located on the outer side of the vertical part of the capsule nest, configured to fix two capsules installed in the capsule nest.

The disadvantage of the analogues and the prototype is that the glasses contain piercers placed at the bottom of the glass, made in the form of pins with piercing parts, while the piercers are long and can bend and deviate to the side when resting against the lower parts of the capsules. If the piercers are made in the form of a ring with jumpers and piercing elements and are placed on an annular shelf located on the inside of the side wall of the glass, the piercing elements can bend down when resting against the lower parts of the capsules. In both cases, the lower parts of the capsules will not be pierced, which can lead to the splashing of hot water, which is supplied under pressure from the car coffee machine, through the connection “upper piercer - capsules” or to the rupture of water lines inside the coffee machine, which will also lead to splashing of hot water, which can get on the passenger, burn him, stain his clothes and/or the interior of the car.

In addition, in known devices, the connection of the glass and the lid occurs using a flange on the top of the glass and a half-toroidal shape of the mating part of the flange on the body of the lid. The disadvantage of such a connection is the complexity of manufacturing a flange on the top of the glass and a half-toroidal shape of the mating part of the flange on the lid body, since these elements are complex shapes, their production requires the manufacture of complex molds that include special shaping elements, such as folding punches, composite and sliding dies and special removal plates. Obviously, the more complex the mold, the higher the defect rate.

Thus, the known designs are unsafe during operation.

The technical result achieved by the utility model is to increase the operational safety of the claimed device.

To achieve the technical result, a glass is claimed - an external holder of two capsules, equipped with a positioner of the annular part, an annular stop, hemispherical protrusions, a drinking straw consisting of a side wall and a bottom, a lid consisting of a capsule nest and an annular part, the outer diameter of the lower part of which equal to the inner diameter of the upper part of the glass, configured to install the lid into the glass by surprise, characterized in that the annular part contains an external thread on the outer side surface, configured to install the glass with the lid installed in a car coffee machine, while the glass contains two capsule piercers, made inseparably from the inner part of the cup body, having attachment points to the inner sides of the bottom and side wall, wherein the side wall contains a positioner of the annular part, and the annular part has a mating part of the positioner of the annular part, the outer profile of which repeats the internal profile of the positioner of the annular part, made with the ability to ensure that the lid is installed in the glass in a position in which the piercers are located under the holes of the capsule nest, while on the outer part of the side wall there is an annular stop, configured to rest the user's fingers, and the annular part contains hemispherical protrusions on the outer side, and the side wall contains mating parts of hemispherical protrusions of the upper part, made with the possibility of fixing the hemispherical protrusions after installing the lid into the glass, while the lid contains a drinking tube made inseparable from the lid.

The claimed device is an element of a system for the safe preparation of drinks.

The safe preparation system for drinks is a system of elements connected to each other. The elements of the safe beverage preparation system are a car coffee machine 9, not equipped with an internal capsule holder, and the claimed device.

The claimed device is connected to a car coffee machine 9 using an external thread 8, which is an element of the claimed device, upper piercers and internal threads, which are elements of a car coffee machine, while the top piercers are connected to the capsules 4 placed in the claimed device, and the internal thread of the car coffee machine is connected to external thread of the claimed device. Water moves from the car coffee machine to the claimed device inside the elements of the safe beverage preparation system. This eliminates open jets and ensures protection from liquid spills on the passenger and vehicle interior during a trip in shaking conditions.

The claimed device can be made, for example, of plastic and/or paper and/or metal, contains a glass 2, consisting of a side wall 5, inseparably connected to the bottom 6, forming the body of the glass.

The claimed device contains a cover 1, consisting of an annular part containing a hole for drinking, and a capsule nest 3, which is designed to accommodate capsules in such a way that the drink flowing from the capsules 4 gets inside the glass 2. The capsule nest is made with the possibility of access and tightly pressing the upper piercers, which are elements of the automobile coffee machine 9, to the capsules installed in the capsule nest. The lid may contain a limiter, which may be an annular protrusion configured to limit displacement of the lid into the glass.

To connect lid 1 and glass 2, the lid is inserted into the glass by surprise, for this the outer diameter of the lower part is equal to the internal diameter of the upper part of the glass. This solution allows us to get rid of the need to manufacture a flange on the glass and a toroidal shape of the mating part of the flange on the lid body, which increases the safety of operation of the claimed device, since these elements are complex shapes, their production requires the manufacture of complex molds, which include special molds elements such as folding punches, compound and sliding dies and special release plates. Obviously, the more complex the mold, the higher the percentage of defects, which can lead to destruction of elements or loose fit of elements to each other, this can lead to the removal of the lid from the glass or their loose connection, which will lead to the hot drink splashing out of the glass. of the declared device on the user and the vehicle interior. Thus, connecting the lid and the glass by installing and tightly fixing the lid in the glass by surprise increases the safety of operation of the claimed device.

The annular part contains an external thread 8 on the outer side. The external thread is made with the possibility of installing a glass 2 with an installed lid 1 on the automobile coffee machine 9 from below, by screwing the claimed device into the automobile coffee machine from below under the upper capsule piercers, which are elements of the automobile coffee machine, which eliminates the need to use a cup holder, which is an element of the automobile coffee machine. The use of an external thread to connect the claimed device to a car coffee machine increases the safety of using the claimed device in comparison with alternative options, for example, in comparison with an external solid or intermittent protrusion on the ring part, or in comparison with a cup holder that is an element of a car coffee machine. The external solid or intermittent protrusion on the annular part has a smaller contact area of the surface of the external protrusion with its mating part, which is an element of an automobile coffee machine, than the contact area of the external thread with the mating part, which means there is a greater likelihood of the external solid or intermittent protrusion breaking off when the upper capsule piercers are pressed on cover. Breaking off the outer protrusion will cause the claimed device to fall out of the car coffee machine, in which case the hot drink may splash, burn the user and stain the interior of the car. A connection using an external thread reduces this likelihood, thus increasing the safety of using the claimed device. The cup holder, which is an element of a car coffee machine, secures the cup with the lid installed. The pressure created by the upper capsule piercings on the lid is transferred from the lid to the glass, from the glass to the glass holder, from the glass holder to the body of the car coffee machine. Each of these elements may fail due to exhaustion, and/or manufacturing defects, and/or incorrect installation. The more elements in the pressure transmission chain from the upper piercer to the body of the car coffee machine, the higher the likelihood of a breakdown, which can lead to the claimed device falling out of the car coffee machine, while a hot drink can splash out, burn the user and stain the car interior. The external thread has a large contact area with the mating part, which is an element of the car coffee machine body, and in the pressure transmission chain from the upper piercer, the external thread immediately transfers the created pressure to the car coffee machine body, eliminating the transfer of pressure to the glass and eliminating the need to use a glass holder. Thus, the use of external threads increases the safety of use of the claimed device.

The claimed device contains two piercers 7 located inside the body of the glass 2. The piercers are made inseparable from the glass by casting or gluing. The piercers have vertical supports with attachment points to the inside of the bottom 6 and have horizontal spacers made inseparably from the inside of the side wall 5. The implementation of the piercers with horizontal spacers, as well as the inseparable connection of the piercers with the body of the glass, increases the safety of operation of the claimed device in comparison with the embodiment piercers in the form of vertical pins placed at the bottom, since such piercers are long and can bend and deviate when resting against the bottom of the capsules 4. If the piercers are made in the form of a ring with jumpers and a piercing element and are placed on an annular shelf , located on the inside of the side wall of the glass, the piercing elements may bend down when resting against the bottom of the capsules. In both cases, the lower parts of the capsules will not be pierced, which can lead to the splashing of hot water, which is supplied under pressure from the automobile coffee machine 9, through the connection “upper piercers - capsules” or to the rupture of the water lines inside the automobile coffee machine, which will also lead to the splashing of hot water. water, which can get on the passenger, burn him, stain his clothes and/or the interior of the car. Thus, the design of the piercers is inseparable from the inner part of the bottom and from the inner part of the side wall, which increases the safety of operation of the claimed device.

The claimed device contains a ring part positioner made on the side wall 5 of the cup 6, for example, using casting, or gluing or another method. The annular part contains a mating part of the annular part positioner, the outer profile of which repeats the internal profile of the annular part positioner. The positioner of the annular part can be made in the form of a protruding or concave element that prevents the installation of the lid 1 into the glass in any position, except for the position in which the mating part of the positioner of the annular part falls into the positioner of the annular part. The positioner of the annular part is designed to ensure installation of the lid on the glass in a position in which the piercers 7 are located under the holes of the capsule nest 4. The positioner of the annular part increases the safety of operation of the claimed device, since to ensure the possibility of piercing capsules placed in the capsule nest 3 during installation lids into the glass, it is necessary to position the lid in the glass so that the capsules installed in the capsule nest are above the piercing pins. It is possible to position the lid incorrectly if you install it in the glass with an axial rotation so that the holes in the capsule nest are not above the piercings. If the lid is not positioned correctly in the glass, the piercers will not pierce the lower parts of the capsules. If the lower parts of the capsules are not pierced and the user turns on the water supply, there may be a danger of hot water splashing through the connection between the capsules and the upper piercer, which is an element of the car coffee machine, since the water pumped by the car coffee machine pump will not be able to exit through the holes in the lower parts. parts of capsules. Hoses inside the coffee machine may rupture or hose may be removed from an element of the coffee machine, for example, from a heater or from a pump, which will also result in the splashing of hot water under pressure, which can splash onto the interior of the car and/or the user, burn him and stain his clothes. The positioner of the ring part eliminates the occurrence of such a danger, thereby increasing the operational safety of the claimed device.

The claimed device contains an annular stop on the outer side of the side wall 5 of the cup 2, designed to support the user's fingers. The annular stop has the shape of a ring, is made, for example, of plastic or pressed paper and is connected to the outside of the side wall using, for example, molding, gluing, or another method. The ring stop allows the user to hold the glass more conveniently, preventing the glass from slipping out of the user's hand during shaking in transport, since during shaking the glass can slide in the hand and, under its own weight, slip out and fall to the floor of the car, open and burn the user and stain the car interior. When the claimed device slides down, the annular stop rests against the user's fingers, as a result of which the likelihood of the claimed device falling out of the user's hand is reduced. Thus, the annular stop increases the operational safety of the claimed device.

The claimed device contains hemispherical protrusions made of the same material as the cover 1, made inseparable from the outer side of the annular part by casting, or gluing or by another method. The side wall 5 of the cup 2 contains mating parts of hemispherical protrusions, which can be, for example, holes or hemispherical recesses, the diameter of which is equal to the diameter of the hemispherical protrusions. The hemispherical protrusions fit into the mating parts of the hemispherical protrusions when the lid is installed in the glass. The hemispherical protrusions are designed to fix the lid in the glass. The presence of hemispherical protrusions prevents accidental removal of the lid from the glass, which could lead to the pouring of hot drink from the claimed device onto the user, thus, the hemispherical protrusions increase the safety of operation of the claimed device.

The claimed device contains a drinking straw made inseparable from the lid 1 by casting or gluing. The drinking tube is configured to allow drinking a drink from the claimed device. The drinking straw can be made inseparable from any part of the lid. The drinking straw is made of the same material as the claimed device. The length of the part of the drinking straw located inside the claimed device is 1-2 mm less than the height of the glass, which allows you to drink the entire volume of the drink located in the claimed device. The inseparable connection of the drinking straw and the lid increases the operational safety of the claimed device due to the absence of a gap in the drinking hole between the drinking straw and the annular part, which exists in the case of using traditional drinking straws. Hot drink may splash through this gap, burning and staining the passenger. In addition, when using traditional straws that are not attached to the lid and inserted into the drinking hole, there is a possibility that the straw will be accidentally removed from the drinking hole, thereby exposing the hot drink and causing the possibility of hot drink splashing out of the drinking hole under shaking conditions in a moving vehicle. car. In addition, the drinking straw allows you to drink a drink without tilting the glass, which also increases the safety of operation of the claimed device, since when the claimed device is tilted, the liquid presses on the capsules and the ring part from the inside, and there is a danger of the capsules or the ring part falling out, which can lead to spilling a hot drink on the user and/or the vehicle interior. Thus, the drinking straw increases the safety of operation of the claimed device.

The utility model works as follows:

The user manually inserts the lid 1 into the glass 2. The user inserts the capsules 4 into the capsule slot 3. In this case, the capsules are pierced with their lower part by the piercers 7, after which the user screws the claimed device with the installed capsules into the car coffee machine 9, presses the capsule piercers, which is an element of the car coffee machine, to the capsules using a pressing device, such as a lever. The user turns on the water supply. Water passes through the elements of the car coffee machine using a supercharger, enters the upper piercings, into the capsules and flows down as a finished drink into the body of the glass. After the glass is filled, the user removes the claimed device from the car coffee machine. The drink is ready to drink through the drinking hole. After consuming the drink, the user disposes of the claimed device along with the capsules. Thus, the claimed utility model makes it possible to increase the safety of operation of the claimed device.
